Best practices for Leafy Energy and Homey flows

Designing calm, predictable energy flows

Leafy Energy data enables a lot of creativity in Homey. To keep things manageable, it helps to follow a few best practices.

Structure and naming

• Group Leafy flows into folders such as "Leafy – prices" and "Leafy – EV".
• Use descriptive names like "Leafy: start washing machine when cheap".

Preventing conflicts

• Avoid multiple flows trying to control the same device in opposite ways.
• Consider a central “master flow” that makes the final decisions.

Documentation

• Use the flow description to list the Leafy capabilities involved.
• In demo environments, maintain a simple diagram of the main energy flows.

With these guidelines, every Leafy Energy demo can show that smart energy does not equal chaos – it creates a calm, structured routine for everyday life.
